A pure Varian themed flavor deck for "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure"

NEW! References are now explained via implemented Card Alters

Sister Piece to an upcoming Corona Deck! :D

Gameplan:

When I initially built this deck it was a hodgepodge of references and cardtypes (the original Brainstorming and Card Explanation can still be found in the Archive under "Dark Kingdom / Varian Focus — Aug. 3, 2021"), but one method always stood out in synergizing REALLY well during games - and that method is now the focus of the Deck.

Drawing cards.

Vial Smasher will deal damage via the spells you cast that will make sure you never run out of gas. Ludevic is a really nice synergy as he accepts Vial Smasher's damage and can be a political piece in a game of otherwise utter chaos.

The nice twist? Everything works in your opponent's turn if you're playing with instants.

At this point this deck is basically "death by research" and I'm sure many students would attest to that. :D

Updates Add

I'm finally making good on my plans to shift the focus of this deck more into Varians (and a general Dark Kingdom/Brotherhood/Demanitus) direction with a focus on ACTUAL alchemy.

ALSO this Deck is getting digital and physical alters in the same treatment as the Deponia Deck!

The removed cards will be recycled in a Corona-themed Deck, run by Kenrith, the Returned King

The original Card Explanations, Intents and Brainstorming will be Archived here, so I can revamp the Maybeboard and give the Description a proper cleanup :)
